Prusa Printer

PrusaSlicer is used with this printer; it can be downloaded here.

Open the software and import the 3D model you want to print. To do this, click on the "Load" button in the upper left corner of the screen and select the file containing your 3D model.
After the 3D model is loaded, you can use the various tools in PrusaSlicer to prepare the model for printing. This includes things like scaling the model, rotating it to the correct orientation, and adding support structures if necessary.
You also will need to select the filament type you plan to use as well as supports, and the infill density you want to be used on your print. Generic PLA works well for all regular PLA, and Fiberlogy Fibersilk settings work decently for silk PLA .

Once you've worked out your settings, click "slice" in the bottom right corner of the screen. This will generate the G-code instructions that the printer will use to print your model.
Double-check that the object looks as it should via the layer preview and that there is no unsupported overhang
With the G-code instructions generated, you are now ready to print your 3D model. To do this, select the save file to an SD card by clicking the small button next to the export G-code button.

Insert your SD card into the printer.
Now you need to load the correct type of filament. If there is currently filament in the printer that needs to be removed, click the button and scroll down to Unload Filament. Then, when prompted, select the type of filament to be removed the printer will heat accordingly. When it beeps, remove the filament. After you’ve removed the filament and are ready to load simply insert the end of the new filament into the extruder and it will automatically load.
You can now start the print. You can monitor the progress of the print on the display. Watch the first few layers to ensure that the print adheres to the plate.

Once the printer has finished printing your model, carefully remove it from the build plate. If necessary, remove any support structures that were used during the printing process.
